GMAT Registration Issue - Location of University

Question

Hi All,

The name of my undergraduate university is "West Bengal University of Technology" which based in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. But the location with the name of my university as updated in your system is showing "Birmingham, WES". I am actually not able to decipher whether it is a flaw in the system or is it programmed that way itself. Should i move forward with my application?

Thanks and Regards
-SK

Can you give the folks at GMAC a call?

Hi. The self reporting information on your score report is actually not a big deal because you could technically put anything you wanted. This information is used mostly for marketing purposes, for schools to reach back out to you and try to invite you to apply and to sell your data. 😬

PS. This wouldn’t really have any impact on your admission or application. Business schools do not have a person whose sole purpose in life is comparing GMAT school reports to their transcripts and to their applications. All they do is they take the score report and verify that the score is accurately, entered on your application and matches it, and they also verify that it was taken within the past five years they may take a peek at your picture that was taken on the day of the gmat out of boredom and perhaps your AWA if your score is very low. That’s it.

Thanks a lot for clarifying this that’s really reassuring!
Quick question though: does this also apply for both GMAT and GMAT Focus Edition, or are schools handling the Focus Edition reports any differently?
